JDaniel Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Anyone knows the original factory fret specs of Aria SB basses? Mine is a SB R60 from 81. I´m plannig a refretting operation and just want to know the material/type/syze of the original frets. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome too! Thanks!

megallica Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 You could try sending a pm to noelk27. He knows a lot about the Aria SB range. Was your bass a defret or a factor fretless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDaniel Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Hi! I just did it! Thank you! The old owner wanted to transform it into fretless, so he took the frets out and didn´t finish the process. Now I want to refrett it and if possible with the original specs. Just love this thing! Here´s some pics of it: [attachment=165862:DSC00525.JPG] [attachment=165863:DSC00526.JPG] [attachment=165864:DSC00529.JPG] Edited June 30, 2014 by JDaniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megallica Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 That's a lovely looking bass, I owned an SB R80 for a few months and was very impressed with the tone and build quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDaniel Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 It was lying in a old music store for almost two decades and nobody picked it! Will post more pics after the restoration is complete! It will need the hands of a good luthier to fully come back to its glory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
